Notes

  • Depending on the size of your turkey breast, it may take longer for yours to roast. Always use a thermometer to see the internal temperature to check for doneness. Turkey is cooked through once it reaches 160F.
  • If your turkey gets brown too quickly, cover it with foil to avoid the skin burning before the middle is cooked through.
  • Make sure you pat dry your turkey breast before seasoning. The moisture on the skin from the fridge will make it difficult for your skin to crisp up.
  • It is important to allow your turkey to rest before you cut into it. When it is resting, the juices inside the turkey are redistributed back throughout the breast. If you cut it too early, the juices will end up on the cutting board.
  • Be sure to thaw the turkey breast completely before cooking.
